A deprecated kind of redirect (see this RfC), whose usefulness is further compromised by the fact that its target is different from Template:Sp. – Uanfala (talk) 21:48, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Template:SP was deleted years ago, which was a template that was different from template:sp -- 65.94.42.168 (talk) 02:42, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as the page view stats show that this redirect is used and therefore useful and there is no evidence of any confusion with other templates or articles. Even though the former is theoretically possible, unless it is an actual issue it really isn't relevant. Thryduulf (talk) 10:47, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Pageviews? It gets one view every couple of weeks and it hasn't received a single one since the end of August. It's even less than what T:MWSD gets and that one we have good reasons to believe no-one has ever used. – Uanfala (talk) 15:39, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Page views do not show that this redirect is used or useful. -- Tavix (talk) 15:42, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete no indication of any actual utility as a shortcut (entirely unused and gets 1 view every two weeks), and the redirect does not help with transclusion. Galobtter (pingó mió) 11:30, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • One view every two weeks is not unused - unused redirects get a low single digit number of views every year! Thryduulf (talk) 12:20, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary redirect, it is an unlikely misnomer of 'Union of Soviet Socialist Republics'. Thespündragon 20:02, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I created Template:MWSD a few years ago, and judging by the list of transclusions I appear to be the only person who's ever used it. Though it warms my heart to see that someone thought my template important enough to warrant a mainspace shortcut, I don't see this as ever being useful. See also this RfC for why such shortcuts are generally deprecated. – Uanfala (talk) 17:13, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The page view statistics show this is in use, although not as significantly so as to be blindingly obviously used, it does not conflict with anything else and so I'm not seeing any reason to delete it beyond "I don't like pesudo-namespace redirects" (which is not a reason to delete a redirect). Thryduulf (talk) 19:44, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • As I appear to be the only editor who's used the target template since it was created over two years ago, if there's anything that the pageviews are telling us, it is that two views per month is apparently what we get for a shortcut that no-one has ever used. And the reasons why such redirects are almost prohibited are explained in the RfC I've linked above and they have nothing to do with my likes or dislikes. – Uanfala (talk) 20:28, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      • From vast experience of looking at page views of redirects, I can say with certainty that redirects nobody uses get less than about 6 hits per year, often only 2-3. The RfC does not say that all such redirects are bad and that they can be useful. This is a useful redirect. Thryduulf (talk) 21:18, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
        • It's slightly exasperating that I find myself obliged to quote from the RfC outcome every time you make a reference to it. This type of redirects were strongly discouraged if not prohibited in all but exceptional cases. And no-one in their right mind would claim that this template is one of the exceptional cases. – Uanfala (talk) 21:26, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. -- Tavix (talk) 20:14, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per non. Ⓩⓟⓟⓘⓧ Talk 13:39, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mother Wheel[edit]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Nation of Islam#The Mother Plane and Ezekiel's Wheel. (non-admin closure) Galobtter (pingó mió) 11:27, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Compare to Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2018_August_3#I-Self_Lord_and_Master: That redirect originally targetted Nation of Islam#The Mother Plane and Ezekiel's Wheel, a section link that is actually still valid, but got redirected by bot ("Fixing double redirect") to Muslim World. However, Muslim World does not at all cover Nation of Islam stuff, and, which is why I do not just revert the bot edit, I am not 100 % convinced that this is the perfect redirect target, as the term "Mother Wheel" is not really explained, but only cited. → «« Man77 »» 14:36, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 07:17, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There is no Toni Gonzaga album by this name listed at Toni Gonzaga#Discography. The redirect is the result of an article at this title being moved to T: Zone, according to Ivanvector at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2015 September 25#T: Zone, the "T: Zone" redirect "Was an article about a speculated album under a speculated title. A good example of why we should not have these redirects, as the artist's following album was not released under this name, and there is no mention of it anywhere.". The discussion resulted in consensus to delete (pinging other participants: Rubbish computer and Lenticel). Thryduulf (talk) 13:30, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is an unnecessary redirect from an obvious typo. Pkbwcgs (talk) 08:26, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • DELETE As the creator of the template... This was a result of my typo when I created the template. Redirect is result of a move. No need to keep it. --Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 08:28, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Obvious misspelling of Watercress Line - no need for this redirect. Pkbwcgs (talk) 08:22, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
